Hazelnuts are one of the most appreciated nuts worldwide due to their unique organoleptic and nutritional characteristics. The present work intended to analyse several physical and chemical properties of different hazelnut varieties grown in Portugal, namely Tonda de Giffoni, Grada de Viseu, Segorbe, Longa de Espanha, Butler, Gunslebert, and Negreta. In general, the results revealed statistically significant differences between the varieties under study. The Gunslebert had more elongated hazelnuts and with heavier shelled fruits, while the kernels of the Grada de Viseu revealed to be heavier. Grada de Viseu was harder in the shell, Gunslebert had a harder core, and Segorbe was more resistant to fracture. Fat was the more representative component for all varieties and in some cases the values of moisture and water activity were over the recommended amount (≥0.62). Tonda de Giffoni was the variety with the highest induction time, indicating the highest oxidation stability. Moreover, discriminant analysis revealed that the variables more important to distinguish the varieties were protein (λ = 0.007) and water activity (λ = 0.010). The results of this study help to better understand the differences between some hazelnut varieties that are cultivated in Portugal, which gives important hints for all players in the hazelnut sector.

Abstract Mosses are one of the most important and dominant plant communities, especially in the temperate biome, and play a significant role in ecosystem function and dynamics. They influence the water, energy and element cycle due to their unique ecology and physiology. The present study was undertaken in three different temperate forest sites in the Garhwal Himalayas, viz., Triyuginarayan (Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary (KWLS)), Chakrata, and Kanasar forest range. The study was focused on understanding the influence of mosses on soil physical properties and nutrient availability. Different physico-chemical properties were analysed under two different substrata, that is, with and without moss cover in two different seasons, viz., monsoon and winter. We observed mosses to influence and alter the physical properties and nutrient status of soil in both seasons. All soil physical and chemical properties, except magnesium, showed significant difference within the substrates, among all the sites and across the two seasons. Besides the soil characteristics underneath the moss vegetation, the study also highlights the diversity of mosses found in the area. Mosses appear to create high nutrient microsites via a high rate of organic matter accumulation and retain nutrients for longer periods thus, maintaining ecosystem stability.

And Chemical Properties

Abstract It has been known for some time that the pure hydrocarbons of balata (or gutta-percha) and natural rubber have the same chemical composition and chemical properties. Both balata and rubber appear to be polymers of isoprene, (C5H8)n, with the same degree of unsaturation. Their physical properties are sufficiently different, however, to make it clear that their structures must differ in some important respect. Since the molecules contain numerous double bonds, it has been suggested that rubber and balata are geometric isomers. Every fourth bond in a rubber or balata molecule is a double bond, so it follows that the possibilities for geometric isomerism are considerable. It was proposed by Meyer and Mark that natural rubber hydrocarbon has a structure for which the molecular chain is cis with respect to all of the double bonds. Balata (or gutta-percha) is then supposed to have a trans-structure throughout, this view having been verified by Fuller and Bunn. It is the purpose of the present paper to consider, from the point of view of recent theories of rubber elasticity, to what extent these structures explain the differences in physical properties. The method to be employed involves calculation of the root mean square lengths of the cis- and trans-structures, which, when compared to their maximum lengths, should give an indication of their extensibilities. In 1932 Eyring treated the problem of the average square length of a hydrocarbon chain. In the present paper a different derivation of Eyring's equation is given (for illustrative purposes), after which this derivation will be extended to the rubberlike molecules with double bonds.

Reducing cultivation may improve many soil physical and chemical properties of a red-brown earth. A trial was set up in 1986 on a red-brown earth near Forbes, N.S.W., comparing direct-drilling and conventional-cultivation crop establishment techniques. The surface soil (0-100 mm) was sampled at the end of the third year and assessed for macropore structure, infiltration characteristics, bulk density, pH, electrolytic conductivity, organic carbon and total nitrogen content. Cultivation degraded some desirable soil physical properties as indicated by data obtained from image analysis and infiltration. Bulk density did not mirror differences in macroporosity. Organic carbon, total nitrogen and electrolytic conductivity levels were higher in direct-drilled soil in comparison to conventionally tilled soil. It ib concluded that the improvement of soil chemical and physical properties afforded by a reduction in tillage would lead to an increase in soil water infiltration rate and storage.

Abstract ZGS 10% Rhodium-Platinum is a grain stabilized platinum-base alloy containing a small amount of highly dispersed zirconium oxide. Its production and general characteristics are closely related to those of ZGS Platinum which also is strenghtened by highly dispersed zirconium oxide (Alloy Digest Pt-2, May 1975). ZGS 10% Rhodium-Platinum is significantly stronger at high temperatures and more creep resistant than the conventional high-temperature rhodium-platinum alloys, while retaining their useful electrical and chemical properties. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as creep. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Pt-3. Producer or source: Matthey Bishop Inc..

Background: In this paper, we have studied the improvement of the physical and chemical properties of the fiber-matrix interface of a Biocomposite based on the copolymer polylactic acid (PLA). Methodology: We have developed an analytical model using a genetic approach to locate the interface damage under the effect of mechanical stress, temperature and humidity. Our simulation is based on Weibull's probabilistic approach and the law of water diffusion in polymer matrix, the diffusion is generated by Fick's law. Results: Our results show that the interface of Biocomposite (Starch-PLA) is the most resistant to the different constraints applied and that the physical and chemical properties of this material are much more improved compared to other materials studied by the same genetic model. Conclusion: Our calculations coincide perfectly with the conclusions of Antoine et al. who determined that natural fibers improve the physical properties of composite materials.
